  Note that he actually signs it the way the name is entered on the card: Cicaro.  Does this indicate this is the way his name was officially registered at his birth?  Probably not,  It may be an indicator of the level of literacy.  This spelling would normally indicate a pronunciation of Sikaro.  It would be a misspelling for Cicero.  The Texas Death record has the expected spelling of Cicero, as does the grave.
